Bhubaneswar: The Director of Medical Education and Training CBK Mohanty has urged people to follow Covid guidelines rigorously to achieve the goal and to avoid another lockdown especially in view of recent surge in different States.
“With vaccines available now, people feel they should not wear masks. Maximum people hang their masks around their neck, some keep it in their pocket and some do not use it at all,” said Mohanty.
“Covid-19 cases have again started rising at some places for the past some time and the laxity shown by people towards the infection is the basic reason behind it,” he said, adding that the situation may turn “dangerous”.
“I want to appeal to people of the country that they should not let the Covid appropriate behaviour get weakened at any cost. Maintaining social distancing, wearing masks properly and washing hands with soap probably are the biggest tools to win the fight against Covid-19,” said Mohanty.
He also asked people to alert the government if they found anyone who has come from outside state so as to enable the authorities to examine and, if necessary, isolate them.
Mohanty further urged the people to come forward and take the shot while requesting the senior citizens not to fear.
